TIS uses a double-blind peer review process, with each manuscript submitted to at least two, and often three, peer reviews. Editors’ duties involve assigning reviewers for each paper submitted within their own specialism, following up on peer reviews, assembling them for the author’s revisions, and repeating the process once revised, until the reviewers and editors are satisfied that the paper is in its best possible form and fit for publication in TIS.
